I would suggest replacing your gauge cluster with one from a EX, or SI. I am not a fan of Flavor Flav clock sized tachs.

Too bad stock tachs are prone to being 400-500 (sometimes even higher) RPM off in the higher RPM ranges.

Put it in the left vent.

I had two autometer tachs, both of them were inaccurate . I know because my stock tach matches my V-AFC (two against one). Get an ex/si cluster.

actually on my 98 ej6 before when I had a tachless-cluster I got that 100 inch Autometter Pie.. and now I have the si cluster as well.. I do notice 200-300RPMS difference between the 2 but it's always been know that factory Gauges are off somewhat
oh yeah anyone want a dx cluster no tach =P
